Among other things, you need to get an electrical converter. Since your laptop runs on electricity, you obviously need this thing. The European nations run on 220 volts, and American laptops run on 110. So run, do not walk, and get this thing. It is easily available at travel shops, computer shops, and general merchandise shops. Secondly, check with your cellphone provider and see if there are wifi cards for your machine to buy. It would be wise to hook up with your provider in advance and avoid sudden surprise bills. Have a marvelous time on your trip!
